Suggest Cure For Persistent Dry Cough

My mother is having dry cough since one and half months. We have shown her to a pulmonologist and a general physician we trust. We had tests done on sputum and it does report Keibsilla SP for which antibiotics were taken. But still she has not recovered and we feel we might need to show her to a cardiologist. Please suggest.

Hello
As you mentioned that your mother received treatment for Kleibsilla .
Your mother is having dry cough for 1 1/2 months .
Such type of cough may be due to allergy , later on this type of allergy causes bronchoconstriction and produces dry cough .
Mostly present with whistling sound as well wheezing.
When such patient visit my clinic I prescribe montelukast+bambuterol tablet .
As montelukast act as an anti allergy while bambuterol act as bronchodilator.
.Patient responded very rapidally .
Since this is a prescription drug , so please consult your treating physician .
Hot coffee also provide relief.
Good luck.
